NEW YORK (AP) — NBA players have filed an amended federal lawsuit against the league in Minnesota.
Locked-out players filed class-action antitrust lawsuits against the league last Tuesday in California and Minnesota. But the California complaint was withdrawn Monday and the cases put together in Minnesota.
Why the shift in courtroom venues? Players’ lawyer David Boies says he believes the case will move more quickly in Minnesota.
NBA owners locked out the players July 1 and the labor strife between the two sides has forced games to be canceled through Dec. 15.
